names we dislike

a partial list, off the top of my head (no offense if your name is on the list): todd chad brad bob mike (michael is okay.) steve (steven is okay. i don't like 'stephen'.) franklin (frank is okay.) joshua kyle seth frederick, federico leonard, leonardo lionel guillermo (spanish for 'william') bill (william os okay.) henry, hank barry raphael, rafael hugo anthony, tony jordan any family name used as a first name

Poor people seem to love adorning their spawn with 'J' names, frequently with bizarre spellings. I can remember the teen mommiez of my middle and high schools fawning over the prospect of Jordynns to be. Note that my non-kayfabed name begins with a 'J.'

So many different names and it is hard to comment on anything but English names, however, I don't like the way most asian names sound.

Off the top of my head, the name Carl has never been easy for me to say.

If I have boys I will give them old skool names like Xavier, Montgomery, Frederick. Though for girls I think it would be a bit cruel to give them a name like Gwenovere.

i had a business meeting a few months ago in which every guy in the room, except for yours truly, had a one syllable name. everyone was either a mike, a steve, a todd, a brad, a bob, etc... i'm usually good at remembering people's names, but in this case i was lost.

i don't dislike frederick for being old skool,. i just dislike the sound.

xavier is a great name, but i don't recommend it for your son. it is basque, and unless your son speaks basque, french, or spanish, he will live his life mispronouncing his own name. "zay-vee-er" sounds ugly.

It would be pronounced however I say it would be, which would be Ex-zay-vyoor, only problem with the name is what the hell would be a nickname? I'd have to choose one that looks distinguished on a resume but can have a few nicknames to choose from. Or maybe I could afrofy it by going ExAHYvyahTAYshawn.
